ansible use case

No matter what infrastructure you have, there are baremetal machines under it somewhere. When rolling out datacenter deployments, use Ansible to provision everything you need, and work with the infrastructure you have.

Ansible’s extensive library of built-in modules, plus its easy extensibility allows you to use the same simple playbook language not just for configuring your servers, but also for your networks, firewalls, and more.

Release Early & Often...But Keep It Simple. We come from a long history of building software the "release early, release often" way. If release often is an ideal, continuous application delivery may be nirvana.
